Use of a 180 on Sōya (icebreaker)

Recent Japanese TV and model kits depict what looks like a 180 on the Japanese ship Sōya (icebreaker). See the article discussion. Flightsoffancy (talk) 04:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would need a more reliable ref than a modelling website that to add! - Ahunt (talk) 11:37, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! I am getting the ball rolling here! The TV just released in Japan is the history of the expeditions and they clearly refer to a "Cessna", but little else. I am looking Flightsoffancy (talk) 18:21, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mock model discrepancy

The article says Mock's plane was a 1953 model. The photos of her plane show 3 side windows. According to the article, 3 windows weren't introduced until 1964 (the same year as her flight). Can't have it both ways! Dan Bollinger (talk) 12:42, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The image in the article of N1538C show two-side windows so I cant see where the problem is. MilborneOne (talk) 13:07, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An FAA registration inquiry for N1538C shows it is indeed a 1953 model. The photo shows only two side windows. - Ahunt (talk) 13:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
